Carb Pool (solution)
by Patrick Blindauer
Solvers get two bags of pasta, both cut into lengths. The first bag contains:
6” of Bucatini2” of Fettuccine
1” of Fusilli
3” of Lasagne
4” of Spaghetti
5” of Udon
The second bag contains some other lengths, but before we give them the bag we smash the pasta to pieces before their eyes.
Reconstructing the broken pieces reveals
7” of Bucatini10” of Fettuccine
3” of Fusilli
4” of Lasagne
1” of Spaghetti
3” of Udon
Sorting by the unique lengths in the first bag and taking the nth letter of the pasta in the second bag (where n is the reconstructed length) gives the final answer: SEASON.
